DVD Talk invites you to spot the shot in Unwed Mother showing "a triangular town square that's clearly an outtake from Invasion of the Body Snatchers, complete with a bus pulling up carrying new Pod victims." That's not to dismiss the film, to which they give high marks. The drama in Too Soon to Love is equally searing, with teenage lovers from dysfunctional families who flee from a wicked abortionist and are driven to crime.

"Girls who get 'in trouble' were big news in the 1950s, although the problem had obviously been around forever. Teens were being exploited as hellions or criminals or gone crazy with rock 'n roll, and there wasn't much parental comfort to be had this side of syrupy Pat Boone movies. Both entries in this obscure Youth Run Wild double bill are actually very good pictures…. The kids in Too Soon to Love and Unwed Mother are likeable and believable, and the plotlines are dramatically sound as well as socially responsible. Viewers hooked on camp values will also be interested to see Jack Nicholson and Robert Vaughn strut their stuff early in their careers."—DVD Talk
